Release Type: Important release recommended for all clients
Binary Defense has released a new update to its award-winning and Forrester-ranked behavioral-based Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. This update brings new enhancements, bug fixes, and increased Agent performance to most client environments.
Highlights Include:
Enhancements
- Agent Performance: Data handling optimizations bring significant CPU utilization improvements to most client environments.
- Improved Auditing for Containment: Improved auditing of containment events to include timestamp, containing user, and containment reason.
- Alarm Details Page (two-column layout): To increase alarm detail clarity and overall scannability, the Alarm Details Page moves to a two-column layout. This is the first step in a larger effort to significantly improve alarm detail quality overall.
- Scheduled Task GPO: Updated product documentation that details how clients can get the most out of their scheduled task detections. Important for all Windows clients to review.
Bugfixes
- Some clients saw duplicate Agent icons appearing in the system tray after a restart
- Some clients experienced deactivated assets not re-activating as expected
- Encoded commands in certain alarms could be truncated by special characters
